easy-move-resize VS AltSnap

Easy Move+Resize (free): comfortably move and resize application windows

I use easy move + resize to do this. https://github.com/dmarcotte/easy-move-resize

Installed https://github.com/dmarcotte/easy-move-resize on my mac, and https://stefansundin.github.io/altdrag/ on my PC. Make moving and resizing windows easier, and I hate maximizing/full-screening windows, as I find it's a huge waste of screen space.

only use Homebrew for ‘Casks’ (GUI .apps)— `brew cask` subcommand

Nix or pkgsrc for reliable management of CLI tools (both, if you want to try Nix but want an escape hatch)

don't forget to install GNU coreutils, grep, find, and bash. (BSD coreutils are weird and anemic if you're used to GNU. macOS bash is ancient, etc.)

disable cursor acceleration (barely works, but it's the only thing that works): https://plentycom.jp/en/cursorsense/index.html

the only mature terminal emulator on the platform that performs okay (provided you enable GPU acceleration): https://iterm2.com/

recover basic key remapping functionality: https://karabiner-elements.pqrs.org/

recover basic audio controls like per-app volume mixing: https://github.com/kyleneideck/BackgroundMusic

recover FUSE support: https://osxfuse.github.io/

recover configurability for a whole host of missing functionality, like global keyboard shortcuts, through automation (Lua scripting): https://www.hammerspoon.org/

recover clipboard management: https://hluk.github.io/CopyQ/

if you don't use some hack to get window tiling, you might also want to...

recover basic window management functionality: https://github.com/rxhanson/Rectangle

recover modifier key window drag: https://github.com/dmarcotte/easy-move-resize

good luck.

- Grab and resize windows: you can try https://github.com/dmarcotte/easy-move-resize.

Yes that works for CLI apps. But some small gui apps provide no updater, are not available in the app store but only provide a brew cask (e.g. https://github.com/dmarcotte/easy-move-resize).

The only solution I've found for addressing this in any meaningful way is AltSnap[0], which lets me avoid needing to find window borders for any resizing or moving operations.

AltSnap is an opensource fork of the original AltDrag program which is no longer maintained

I run Sway and use Remmina to remote to my Windows 10 machine at work. On my Windows 10 PC I have AltSnap installed so I can use ALT+left mouse to move the windows and ALT+right mouse to resize them.

In order to resize the browser window and move it - I use AltSnap ( https://github.com/RamonUnch/AltSnap )

There is an updated version called altsnap. https://github.com/RamonUnch/AltSnap/releases

This isn't a default feature on Windows even with PowerToys. You'd need something like AltSnap to get this working.

Pretty much only possible with 3rd party tools. https://windhawk.net/mods/slick-window-arrangement https://github.com/RamonUnch/AltSnap

For resizing you can try AltSnap (available through Scoop as well) - it mimics what's available by default in Gnome and some other DEs on GNU/Linux and it's pretty useful once you get used to it - you basically hold down a key while left/right clicking the mouse to move/resize a window that you point over (and all the precision you need is to point at one of the four quarters of the window).

I know that AltSnap has a feature to make a window borderless, Hold ALT and middle click and click toggle borderless.
